Avian influenza

EURING policy statement on Avian Influenza

EURING considers that it is vital for bird ringing to be maintained in order to provide sound data on changing patterns of bird movements and demography in relation to avian influenza and other applied issues. It is co-ordinating information on best practice with respect to the hygiene of ringers and birds to ensure that this can be done safely. Our policy statement on these issues can be viewed here.
